The boys had a great wrestling season. They placed 1st - 4th every week. Some weeks were harder than others but all in all they did great. Unfortunately last week at Regionals they did not feel very well so they did not wrestle their best and they did not place. So we are not going to State finals this year. It is the first year since Patrick was 5 that both of them have not qualified. They were pretty bummed along with Pat and I cause we love hanging out with friends and watching all the kids wrestle.
That's ok though we are also very glad to be done and have our weekends back. We have a lot to do to get ready for the baby still and the boys start baseball in about 3 weeks. Then Mara will be starting gymnastics to help her with her competitive cheer next year. All of this along with a newborn at some point. I am suprised I haven't had to check myself into a hospital with padded rooms yet.
The house has been getting a lot of work done to it. We remodled Mara's room (Paint, flooring, bedding, window treatments) and we are remodleing the family room downstairs (paint and carpet). Then we will be repainting the entire upstairs kitchen and living room as well as bathroom. This is what Pat has to get done before the baby comes. I know he loves this nesting phase. Hopefully he can get it done. We have a list of projects for this summer. A new deck, landscaping, and moving the hair salon to the basement along with a bathroom downstairs. We would like to get these done so when this wonderful economy gets better (someday) we will be ready to sell the house. Let's see if it happens. We are growing out of this house way too fast, but it is just not the time for us to sell, buy yes, but not sell.
Well, housework is calling and I need to get to all of that. Hope everyone enjoys the beautiful weather and we can't wait until summer and the cottage at our house.
